I am doubtful about the genus of this curious but insignificant little plant, which appears to differ from Cesia 
in the perianth not being twisted after flowering.— Stems very slender, formed of the sheathing bases of the leaves, 
tufted, scarcely swollen at the base, Root of thick fibres. Leaves 2-3 from each stem, spreading, flaccid, 6-8 
inches long, not 4 inch broad, linear, quite flat. Scape 3-1 inch long, rather stout, curved, bearing 3-5 fascicles of 
two or more flowers, each fascicle subtended by a broadly ovate, membranaceous bract. Pedicels very short, 4-4 
lin. long; generally a flower and young fruit are together in each axil. Flower about + inch long; segments of the 
perianth linear-oblong, with three stout nerves united at the very base. Stamens short; filaments narrowed at both 
ends, their apices inserted under a small hood at the back of the anther below its middle. Anther broadly obovate- 
oblong; the valves somewhat recurved at their apices. Ovary of three unequal rounded lobes, each with two 
collateral ovules. Style two-thirds the length of the flower, minutely three-lobed at the apex.
